First Aid Handbook

First Aid Handbook

For this project, I reformatted 14 written pages of First Aid Instructions provided by the St. Margaret Family Health Centers into a straightforward, step by step handbook that fits inside the Industrial First Aid Station both physically and in terms of visual language.

Inside, I was challenged to include 2 illustrations and a piece of typographic humor. The book is organized alphabetically within sections so that the reader can quickly and easily find what they’re looking for. It’s printed on glossy, cool white paper for a clean look and bound with spiral binding for speedy page flipping.

Here’s the Industrial First Aid Station that I drew inspiration from:

Looking at this Industrial First Aid Station, I wanted to incorporate the simple yet bold colors, strong typeface, repetition and diagonals in the cross graphic, and letter outlines in my own handbook.

To create the illustrations, I drew out my ideas, scanned them, and then finalized my favorites in Illustrator.

For my typographic humor piece, I used repetition with type to create a thermometer under the Fever section.
